We dodged a bullet with Jeb Bush losing.

[Renew Deal]

And although he might be regurgitated as a VP pick, I think he's done for this cycle. Bush had the same advisors as his brother. They're the same PNAC'ers and RW extremists from the last 36 years.

So no matter anything else that happens today, this is a great day.

1. People like Otto Reich and Diaz Balart are so 90s

and so irrelevant. But yes luckily he wasn't a good debater and Trump took him out with an accurate insult.

Is / was Lincoln Diaz Balart that important? I didn't realize this. I thought he was a one horse Cuba pony.

2. Jeb! was one of the few GOP candidates who could appeal to Latino voters

Carnival Cruz and Rubio are both cubans and do not poll well with Latino voters and Trump is a disaster.

3. Kasich is the VP pick

5. If Trump is the nominee I honestly don't see Kasich accepting

the VP nomination to run with him.

[Orangepeel]

10. Yeah, I think so. Rubio/Kasich, is my guess

Rubio will get most of Bush's and Kasich's votes, which might be enough to best Trump.

4. Actually I think Jeb! would have been one of the easiest to beat

in a general campaign.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. Agreed.

[Whiskeytide]

6. We should not assume those people are going away. n/t

[Renew Deal]

8. I agree

Especially with Rubio still out there, but their easiest path back to power is gone.

7. Poor Jebby...

Be afraid... be very afraid!

11. JEB! Has suspended his campaign. nt

12. Looks like the "Most Wanted" poster at the Post Office.

Kissinger's the only war criminal missing.
